Whitney Shanley, MSN, BSN, APRN, FNP-C

Whitney is an ABSN founding faculty member and has worked tirelessly for the ABSN program over the past eleven years. Whitney has taught Health Assessment and holds high standards for all of the nursing students. She inspires both students who are doing well, and those who are struggling, to embody accountability and high ethics in their coursework. Whitney is constantly re-evaluating the Health Assessment course and outcomes, enabling the course to become a better course with every cohort. Whitney pivoted during the Covid-19 pandemic to provide a quality product for the Health Assessment course as well as the Senior Capstone Practicum. These are both courses that typically require a hands-on application for success. Whitney adapted learning opportunities for the students in both courses so they would meet the outcomes. Whitney is strategic and outspoken when she sees ways the ABSN program can do better. This elevates all of us at GW Nursing- faculty, staff, and students- to be the best we can be.
